How Were We Misled Into War?

The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow.

And maybe the Secretary of State:

Saddamâ€™s goal â€¦ is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraqâ€™s weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed.
